Monaco glamour brought to Harewood House event

THEPrince and Princess of Monaco were among VIPs at Yorkshire’s Harewood House last night for the Variety Club Golden Jubilee Ball.

Prince Albert, 53, and Princess Charlene, 33, a former South African Olympic swimmer, were the guests of honour at the ball, which was attended by more than 300 people and raised more than £250,000 for charity.

The Royal couple were making their first visit to the UK since their wedding this summer, one of the most high-profile social events of the year.

The ball, which featured Lulu and Bobby Davro, marked the pinnacle of a series of events this year to mark the 50th anniversary of the Yorkshire committee of the charity, which has raised millions of pounds for needy children.
